Where librarians and the internet meet: internet searching, Social Media tools, search engines and their development. These are my personal views.

Facebook turns on Christmas

Some people like Christmas. I know, it's really odd, and I can't quite fathom it myself, but they do. However, there are some of us who don't like it. We prefer to get through the year without thoughts of festivities, Santa and all the rest of the stuff. You can therefore imagine my horror that Facebook has now decided to tell me when my friends are talking about the C word. I was going through my newsfeed and saw this gem, with blurring to protect the guilty who should know better.

I didn't ask Facebook to do this. I don't want Facebook to do this. But apparently I have no choice since there wasn't a way of turning it off. So thanks for that Facebook, and a 'ho sodding ho' to you too.
